Poskey Bottom

Farmhouse at Cow Bank The building is at the minor road end in Weasdale on the north side of the Howgill Fells. The image was made in June 1992 when the building was clearly unoccupied however notes made at the time record that the roof had been renewed and guttering replaced, so it's possible that the house is now, in 2022, in use. Aerial views show that the trees close to the house are no longer there.

Sheep lick by the bridleway to Gars When I appeared in the gateway these sheep ran off but the lure of the minerals and nutrients soon lured them back. At this time of year they really need extra nutrition especially as most of the ewes will be pregnant again by now.

Cairn on Hunthoof Pike (524m) A pike is normally a pointed hill or mountain but this hardly describes Hunthoof. From the path on Green Bell it is barely noticeable but from below there is a hint of shapeliness. In this picture <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3246787">NY6803 : Upland barn near Weasdale</a> it is the dark cone in front of and below Green Bell. The cairn sits on the edge of the steepening slope and a few outcrops provided the stones.

Footbridge over Weasdale Beck On the bridleway between Gars and Weasdale, horses have to use the ford. The fence and barn on the left belong to the Weasdale Nursery which (according to Wainwright in his 'Walks on the Howgill Fells') is probably the highest in the country.
